Vijay Varma shared how he was "very angry" with directors Reema Kagti and Ruchika Oberoi for approaching him for the role of Anand Swarnakar in 'Dahaad'. He described his role as an "incredible devil of a character". "I [finish] shooting...take something from the set [as memory]...with ['Dahaad'], I was like 'I don't want to take anything back home'," he added.
